The subjects were 64 cases of gastric cancer. In all 64 cases, resected specimens (formalin fixed) were subjected to endoscopic ultrasonographic examination by the water immersion method in order to assess the horizontal spread of the invasive gastric cancer. Ultrasonographic findings were compared with the histopathological findings of resected specimens. The tumor which invaded the submucosa or deeper layers was visualized as low echogenicity region in the third layer (corresponding to the submucosa) or deeper layers. The horizontal spread of the low echogenicity region represented that of the tumor or the associated fibrosis, but not the tumor itself. In the cases showing echo patterns which were characteristic of the peptic ulceration in the tumor focus (Type II-1, II-2, UL), the horizontal spread of cancer invasion in the submucosal layer or deeper layers (L Ca) was smaller than that of low echogenicity region depicted by ultrasonography (L U). In the other (Type II-3, III, A, B) cases, L Ca was almost comparable to L U.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009361 Neoplasm Invasiveness Ability of neoplasms to infiltrate and actively destroy surrounding tissue. Invasiveness, Neoplasm,Neoplasm Invasion,Invasion, Neoplasm
D005753 Gastric Mucosa Lining of the STOMACH, consisting of an inner EPITHELIUM, a middle LAMINA PROPRIA, and an outer MUSCULARIS MUCOSAE. The surface cells produce MUCUS that protects the stomach from attack by digestive acid and enzymes. When the epithelium invaginates into the LAMINA PROPRIA at various region of the stomach (CARDIA; GASTRIC FUNDUS; and PYLORUS), different tubular gastric glands are formed. These glands consist of cells that secrete mucus, enzymes, HYDROCHLORIC ACID, or hormones.
